You're doing exactly what Tricia McMillan does... Blaming the victims.
Actual authentic Minnesotans are telling you how tone deaf this is, and how the need *in this moment* is to support our community. You're shilling for a nebulous plan for a political party who have barely been seen.

There may be a lot of known Minnesotans telling me - shockingly - I should not be supporting the DFL, but as someone who's run countering disinfo operations there have been dozens of inauthentic accounts in our discussion and that should make all of you "authentic" Minnesotans deeply uncomfortable.

before I go to bed, I feel obliged to emphasize how tonight’s rampage in northern Minneapolis was, by no exaggeration, a glorified episode of klan night riding by federally deputized groypers. Yes, DHS always had these people but the difference now is that they’re in charge and with a $175B budget.

So all those people not from the Twin Cities might be learning that Frey isn't "President material" (as I've seen skeets say) and now might be seeing that he's a weasel who talks a big game before he blames the community.

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.
The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:
If you're still able to help Minnesota, @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social is always accepting donations. $10 buys a pack of handwarmers. If you were given Amazon gift cards this year for Christmas, you can shop their Amazon wishlist: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

A lot of non-Minnesotans are asking how they can help people in the Twin Cities. Here's a very easy way that will cost you absolutely nothing.
Do not vent in the replies to videos or other posts from Minnesotans.
We're all on edge, and your rageposting and doomposting isn't what we need right now.

Some comments below say that the DOJ officials shouldn't have quit.
Given that they'll likely get fired (for example, the recent AG who was fired for refusing to prosecute Powell), quitting publicly shines some light on what's going wrong.

The only reason we don't have these changes is because all that money is going to the 1% who have a vested interest in keeping it.
If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

Just dropped some food at a Little Free Pantry. We support a food shelf monetarily, too, but some of our most vulnerable neighbors have good reason not to want to go to large gathering points this week to get needed supplies. Let's stock the shelves through this. Have each other's backs, Minnesota.

I am tired, and sad, and fucking pissed, and depressed, and oscillating between all these feelings churning about.
Take care of each other, tell your families and friends you love them.
I know our community is stronger than the terror they're bringing.
